Hi
Nobody7,
Thank you for sharing your profile. Your profile looks good on the surface. The average GMAT score for your target schools is between710-730, however, it is lower for said and judge (690-720), and being an Indian applicant, I suggest you try to push your score to 730+ to maximize your chances for INSEAD, LBS, and M7 schools. On the work front, I see you have been in different kinds of industries which, if exhibited aptly to adcoms, can put you in a great spot. You'll need to demonstrate your contributions and career progressions, as well as how you stand out in the pool. Your role in your current company appears to be intriguing, particularly the part where you get to work in different functions such as strategy, planning, and innovation. You must have had a significant influence on this organization. Your prior experiences, too, demonstrate a solid career trajectory and amazing professional experiences.
Your ECs sound good, including examples of leadership. If you're creating content now also, I'm sure you'll find something fascinating to talk about in your apps. Talking about it will make your application more appealing. The majority of your professional experience should be covered on your CV, therefore you should have something more fascinating to talk about in your applications to actually bring a living person in the apps, and that is what sets YOU apart.

Your post-MBA goals make sense. However, you will need to go into more detail, connect the dots with your previous work experience, and explain how an MBA from a specific school will help you fill gaps in your profile and achieve your goals. To convey a strong narrative, try to bring the right motivations for these goals. You will need to give plausible reasons for pursuing a second MBA.
